So... you expect people to excuse typos in your posts (according to your signature) yet you point out typos in others' posts?

I correct my typos when I see them. I don't tend to pick people up but I couldn't ignore the irony of that particular post.

What's your opinion on the OP's question?

So, you can't expect people to ignore YOUR typos, then. Or that would be hypocritical, wouldn't it? Maybe you should alter your signature to "Feel free to correct my typos as I do to others' when I see them"?

It would be ironic if you didn't, having posted this message......

Very good kind of gives an example of criticism for criticism sake.

Made me smile. Tempted to cut and paste it into my signature to remind me of the values I hold dear.

Last para of #69

Anyway can people try not to get sidetracked from the OP's original question. Everyone can we leave this thread to either get back on topic or fade please.

That question from the poster who calls himself The Boss was not on the post I replied to. That's why it wasn't answered. He must have added it AFTER I had pressed "quote".

Since it bothers you so much I have changed my signature. If you can't see why "interesting choice if words" is a rather ironic post given I'm being picked up for my choice of words (you didn't take issue with the user over that incidentally), and is not just nit picking typos, then I think you are a bit of a lost cause sadly.

So now back to the thread...

What a shame you didn't change your signature as I suggested to reflect your interest in correcting other people while expecting people not to correct you but I suspect you're rather a lost cause.....:rotfl:

Oh dear.
